The Orchestra is a not-for-profit profit organisation, run by a voluntary committee elected each year at the AGM, with committee members drawn from current and past parents. Funding is from a combination of family subscriptions, voluntary donations, grants and awards, and direct fundraising by parents and players. They are affiliated to the IAYO (Irish Association of Youth Orchestras), and every few years they perform as part of its “Festival of Orchestras” in the National Concert Hall.
